Valentine’s Day is almost here. The rat race in on to make this celebration the best one yet. Tearing your hair out, repeating – or rather screaming – the mantra: “What can I do for Valentines Day?” Fear not. Below is a “what to do for Valentines Day” list, from adrenaline-fuelled experiences to quality time in peace with the one you love.
Brekkie in Bed
Nothing shows your appreciation for someone more than bringing them a yummy breakfast in bed. What could be better than curling up nice and cosy with your lover, tucking into a delicious brunch? Make your valentine heart-shaped French toast with raspberry, chocolate and cream cheese or maybe they’d prefer a bog-standard fry-up with all the bells and whistles. You don’t have to be Jamie Oliver to do it, either. If you’re no cordon bleu chef, plump for a gourmet hamper filled with their favourite foods.
Adventure
“But what can I do on Valentines Day if I’m an adrenaline junkie?” we hear you scream. Get your hearts thumping on February 14th with an activity such as white water rafting or get up close and personal at 12,000 feet above earth and try a tandem skydive. You’ll definitely hold on to that special someone as tightly as possible when you give this a go. If you’d rather stay a little closer to the ground, there’s always paintballing or sphereing for two.
Have a Picnic
What can you do for Valentines Day? Why, take a picnic, of course! Considering the typical English weather, this isn’t always a first choice. That said, it’s definitely worth the risk. A picnic in the countryside, complete with wine and delicious delights is so simple to organise and ever-so romantic. You and your beloved will spend a few hours together with nothing but the birds and the bees to keep you company.
Take a Trip Down Memory Lane
Indulge in a nostalgia date. Hark back to the first time you met your lover. Why not re-create your very first date? Whether it was six months ago or 60 years ago, it’s never too late to go back to where it all began and re-live the moment together.
Take a Break
Often, a change of scenery ticks all the right boxes – the perfect way to rekindle your love for each other. With so many gorgeous city locations across the UK and aboard, it’s a walk in the park to get away from it all nowadays. Whether you’re a couple who love to lie in bed ordering room service or would rather get out and about and explore, a weekend city break is just the ticket.
Learn Something New
Revitalise the flame of passion by discovering something different together. Take an art class, do yoga, book a cookery lesson – essentially, just find new ways to express yourselves. What’s more, you’ll end up with unforgettable memories of your time together. Otherwise, spice up February 14th with a dancing lesson like salsa or tango with a rose clenched between your teeth… or even break beat. Maybe not.
Decadent Dining
If you thought the saying, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” applied only to men, you were wrong! What could beat a Valentine’s dinner and a luxury cocktail in one of the finest dining establishments across the country? Your foodie Valentine would love nothing more than being treated to a romantic meal at a top quality restaurant. Or, if you’re feeling Gordon Ramsay-esque, why not whip up a feast of your own?
